No better purpose

Arjuna Ishaya

The mistake of intentional creation in meditation

Arjuna Ishaya
April 17, 2024
The mistake of intentional creation in meditation

Many meditations are about creating some kind of feeling or intention. If I was in an arguing mood, I’d say they are misguided. Within you is a higher wisdom but it can only come through when you stop having an agenda, when you let go.

Acceptance

Arjuna Ishaya

Acceptance

How DO you accept something you really don’t want? It all comes down to realising – with ruthless honesty – what you control and what you don’t.

Devoted to something deeper

Devoted to something deeper

What if you never gave any more conscious attention to what you don’t want and what could go wrong? What if you made your life a sole celebration of all that is good, right, beautiful and true? What would happen then?

Mindfulness and other cliches

Arjuna Ishaya
March 27, 2024
Mindfulness and other cliches

‘Mindfulness’ has become such a buzz word it can lose its meaning in the repetition. Don’t make it more complicated than it needs to be; keep it simple so you can make the most of your moments, any time.

You’re going to make it

Arjuna Ishaya
March 20, 2024
You’re going to make it

You’re gonna make it. How you have no idea – for all the control and the worry and the over-thinking – but you will.

Arjuna Ishaya
March 6, 2024

Is "normal" life that safe?

Arjuna Ishaya
February 28, 2024
Is "normal" life that safe?

Normality is our society’s commonly accepted path to find stability and ultimately success and happiness. But it’s insanely flawed. There is no stability in anything our society promotes.

For when times are tough

For when times are tough

Despite 25 years of study and practice, my advice for anyone facing tough times remains vague and seemingly cliched.

What makes something soulful?

We often separate the soulful and deeply satisfying from the ordinary and ho-hum. But what if you could have more soul in every part of life?

A place to go

Arjuna Ishaya
January 24, 2024
A place to go

Being able to change your world is an admirable trait, but on equal footing is the ability to accept what you have no control over. When an emotional past comes back to revisit, resistance only causes more problems. Acceptance and going with is the very thing you need.

Arjuna Ishaya

Doing something out of the ordinary more often gives you so much more Life; life has more love in it, more energy and creativity, more sense of humour. You ride the storms easier. So, don’t forget the love!
